Filter by:Randomized, controlled, double-blind, single-center clinical trial with two parallel arms depending on the product consumed (experimental product and placebo product) to analyze the efficacy of a botanical extract in reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality.
Randomized, controlled, double-blind intervention study, with four parallel branches depending on the product consumed, to analyze the efficacy of different types of milks on the improvement of sleep quality.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the improvement of sleep quality of probiotic BLa 80 in 110 healthy college students. The main question it aims to answer is whether probiotic BLa80 can effectively improve the sleep quality of college students. The experiment commenced with participants continuously consuming the recommended amount of the probiotic powder for approximately 8 weeks. Simultaneously, they were required to fill out an "Effect Evaluation Form" every week and submit it to relevant department. At the end of the first and eighth weeks, participants underwent tests for five liver functions, four lipid profiles, blood sugar, and uric acid levels, as well as stool sample collection. They then completed the "Mid-Term Effect Evaluation Form".
Sleep disorders are highly prevalent all around the world and have a strong negative impact on quality of life (QoL). In Colombia, up to 60% of adults report any sleep disturbance and more than 45% have required medical assistance for this. There is abundant anecdotal and scientific evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of several plant extracts on sleep quality. In this context, the development of safe and effective natural products may have a positive impact on sleep and general QoL.
The aim of the study is to determine whether a night-time tea can improve subjective sleep quality in healthy sleepers and self-reported poor sleepers, compared to a control drink.
With the long-range goal to identify an efficacious and practical intervention to improve sleep for individuals with MCI, this pilot study will enroll 20 individuals with MCI into either a self-administered hypnosis for sleep program or a sham white noise hypnosis program. Participants will practice hypnosis delivered via audio recording once per day in their own home for 7 weeks. Upon completion of the study, insight will be gained regarding accrual, retention, and feasibility of the intervention and measures. Data from this pilot study is essential to inform and plan a future R01 proposal to determine the efficacy of the self-administered hypnosis intervention to improve sleep quality and duration, as well as other benefits, with individuals with mild cognitive impairment.
The long-range goal is to identify an efficacious and practical intervention to improve sleep quality and duration for family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The main goal of this study is to determine feasibility of a self-administered hypnosis intervention with caregivers of individuals with ADRD by randomizing eligible participants into one of two study arms, self-administered hypnosis (treatment group) or sham white noise hypnosis (control group). The investigators are also examining the feasibility of accrual, outcome measures (diaries, actigraphy) and study design.
The purpose of this study is to slow down the aging of the participant's brain by improving sleep quality.
The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the effect of enhanced psychological well-being on sleep quality. This study will demonstrate whether combining an intervention designed to promote psychological well-being with sleep hygiene education improves sleep quality in a non-clinical population of distressed adults reporting poor sleep in the absence of a diagnosed sleep disorder. The investigators expect an intervention combining elements of psychological well-being and sleep hygiene education to result in significant improvements in sleep quality measures from baseline to post-intervention, and greater improvements in sleep quality measures at post-intervention as compared with sleep hygiene education alone.
Poor sleep quality is a major issue of public health in older adults. However, the underlying cause of poor sleep quality in older adults is multifactorial and complex. A highly accessible and effective instrument for screening and subgrouping older adults with poor sleep quality is warranted. In particular, the instrument is expected to suggest respective interventions. The present project will use two groups, including non-disabled and disabled older adults, to develop the short screen and subgrouping scale along with the respective intervention. During the first and second year of the project, we will apply the established non-disabled version of' the 'Short Screen and Subgrouping Scale' to screen and to subgroup older adults with poor sleep quality in non-disabled older population. Consecutively, the screened subgroups will be performed the causal-pie analysis to elucidate the complex cause of poor sleep quality. The number of participants is estimated as 500. Meanwhile, additional 500 disabled older adults, who will be invited in the hospital, will be used in the latent class analysis (LCA) to subgroup reasonable classes of poor sleep quality in disabled older adults. According to the result of LCA, the disabled version of the 'Short Screen and Subgrouping Scale' will be produced and relevant causal-pie analysis will be conducted accordingly. In the second and third year of this project, two randomized control trials (RCT) with two arms will be conducted, respectively. One arm is non-pharmacological intervention group (n=30) and the other is the control group (n=30). In the non-disabled older adults, the screened mild insomnia group, which has been defined in our pilot study, will be invited to attend the RCT. In the disabled older adults, after the LCA, the subgroup with mild symptoms will be considered to enter the RCT study phase. The intervention for both RCTs will be designed according to the result of causal-pie analysis. The non-pharmacological intervention will comprise sleep hygiene education, exercise training and relevant modules of cognitive behavioral therapy. This 3-year project is expected to frame a population-level model of precision medicine, which targets poor sleep quality in older adults.
